Cincinnati Reds second baseman
Matt McLain will bat second in the lineup this season, per manager Terry Francona. The 26-year-old is scorching hot this spring, hitting .553 (21-for-38) with six home runs, a pair of steals, and a 5:4 BB:K. The former first-rounder showed a strong blend of contact, power, and speed potential in his debut back in 2023, but missed all of 2024 with a shoulder injury and was not nearly as productive in his 2025 return to the diamond (77 wRC+). Perhaps 2026 will look more like 2023, and if so, the right-handed hitter could end up being a value in fantasy drafts. He's the ninth-ranked second baseman at RotoBaller and is ranked No. 150 overall, while his ADP is closer to pick No. 200 over the last couple of weeks. McLain will hit in front of some big bats, including
Elly De La Cruz,
Eugenio Suarez, and
Sal Stewart, adding to his fantasy appeal.

Baltimore Orioles second baseman
Jackson Holliday (hand) stated that he expects to take live at-bats during camp this week with the big league club, but is unsure whether or not he'll get a chance to see game action before the spring season is over. The 22-year-old is expecting to open the regular season with Triple-A Norfolk, although he does not believe his stay on the injured list will be a lengthy one. The former first-overall draft pick is recovering from hamate-bone surgery in his hand and has been making steady progress in his rehab. The left-handed slugger is looking to build on his 2025 season, which saw him produce a .242/.314/.375 slash line with 17 home runs, 17 steals, a .304 wOBA, and a 96 wRC+ in 149 games. Holliday could finish the year inside the top-12 at the second base position, but you can wait on him in drafts, going after pick No. 150 over the last two weeks.

Los Angeles Rams running back
Kyren Williams posted another excellent season in 2025, recording 1,252 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns on 259 carries across 17 games. The 25-year-old also posted his most productive NFL campaign as a receiver, hauling in 36 receptions for 281 yards and three scores on 50 targets. However, despite playing one more game, Williams saw 55 fewer touches in 2025 than he did in 2024, and he could be in line for an even steeper drop in workload in 2026. Fellow Rams running back
Blake Corum emerged as a productive piece of the team's offense in 2025, averaging over five yards per carry on his way to 782 scrimmage yards and six total touchdowns. If Los Angeles fields one of the league's elite offenses once again in 2026, the team may be able to support quality fantasy production from two running backs. However, if the Rams' offense regresses or the team chooses to even out the touch distribution between its two backs even further, Williams might have a tough time maintaining fantasy RB1 production. To no fault of his own, Williams' dynasty value should be slightly downgraded after Corum's emergence in 2025.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher
Chase Burns was removed from his start this past Friday after throwing just 24 pitches. Manager Terry Francona has stated that Burns is fully healthy despite the early hook, and although that still seems to be the case, according to C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic, the team "didn't like how Burns' arm was moving" during the outing, so they wanted to address it immediately. With just a week and a half left before the regular season gets underway, it sounds like the 23-year-old still has mechanical adjustments to make, and he may not be stretched out as much as other guys competing for rotations spots are, including
Rhett Lowder and
Brandon Williamson, so Burns could very well be ticketed for Triple-A to begin the season. The right-hander had an impressive debut in 2025 in which he posted a 4.57 ERA (2.65 FIP) and recorded 67 strikeouts in 43 1/3 innings pitched, but starting the year in Triple-A would certainly dampen his fantasy outlook. For a pitcher that has been going fairly high in fantasy drafts the last couple of weeks (ADP 120 overall), managers who haven't drafted yet should take a more cautious approach and keep an eye out for any developments.

New York Jets tight end
Mason Taylor (neck) saw his rookie season get cut short by a neck injury that caused him to miss the final four games of 2025. However, the 21-year-old showed some encouraging flashes before getting hurt, recording 44 receptions for 369 yards and a touchdown on 65 targets across 13 games. While Taylor's numbers might not jump off the page, it's important to remember that he was mired in a brutal offensive environment in New York that featured journeymen quarterbacks
Justin Fields and
Tyrod Taylor as its starters for much of the year. Former Seattle Seahawks and Las Vegas Raiders quarterback
Geno Smith currently projects as the Jets' starter heading into 2026, which could at least bring some stability to the position, if not high-end production. Outside of star wideout
Garrett Wilson (knee), Taylor may be the favorite to finish second on the Jets in targets and receptions in 2026. His upside is still limited by the questionable situation around him in New York, but Taylor could be an undervalued tight end option for dynasty managers to target.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Puka Nacua took his game to new heights in 2025, recording 129 catches for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns on 166 targets across 16 games played. The 24-year-old led the NFL in receptions and receiving first downs despite missing a contest and is now the league's all-time leader in receiving yards per game (95.3). With the Rams' elite play-caller/quarterback combination of Sean McVay and
Matthew Stafford likely back in the mix in Los Angeles in 2026, Nacua should be well-positioned for another monster season. There's little doubt that Nacua is a fantasy WR1, so the real question is where he ranks among the truly elite players at his position. In dynasty startups, Nacua's combination of age and proven production track record makes him a viable choice as the number one wide receiver off the board. If he can stay healthy, Nacua seems like a safe bet to be among the league leaders in PPR points per game every year for the remainder of the decade.

Andrew Novak knew little went right at TPC Sawgrass. The American golfer shot back-to-back 75's and missed the cut. It was the third time in seven events Novak did not see Sunday. It also marked his fifth and sixth consecutive rounds of 70 or above. That has pushed all of his major metrics into the red. Strokes gained to putting is even 96th at -0.07. His biggest issue may be all the extra putts on Fridays. Novak ranks 149th averaging 30.14 putts per Round 2. Worse, Novak only drives the ball 292.9 yards. The Valspar Championship is a lengthy 7,340 yards (Par-71). Novak may have a challenge to play into the weekend and thus, is a betting fade here.

Austin Smotherman has had an adventurous 2026 so far. The American golfer is expecting his third child potentially during this weekend's Valspar Championship. The expected date is March 23, but one never knows. Anyway, Smotherman has three top-25 results in seven events this season. That includes a runner-up at the Cognizant Classic and a respectable T13 at The Players Championship. He is one of a select few golfers that have had two tournaments with four rounds in the 60's. Smotherman may not always be consistent, but approaching the greens is a major asset (first at 1.135 strokes gained). If he gets his putter going, Smotherman will be a solid DFS or top-20 betting option this week.

A second-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Washington Commanders tight end
Ben Sinnott has had a tough time carving out a consistent role in his team's passing game through his first two NFL seasons. Across 33 career games, the 23-year-old has recorded 16 receptions for 142 yards and two touchdowns on 18 targets while stuck behind veteran tight end
Zach Ertz (knee) on the depth chart. Ertz suffered a torn ACL in Week 14 of 2025 and is also currently a free agent, so he is unlikely to stand in Sinnott's way for a third straight year in 2026. However, Washington signed former Tennessee Titans tight end
Chig Okonkwo to a three-year contract in free agency, all but assuring that Sinnott will remain siloed to a reserve role. Based on his lack of production and his team's roster management around him, Sinnott's value in dynasty formats should be at an all-time low heading into 2026.

Luke Clanton came out of nowhere and produced a top-five finish at the Puerto Rico Open earlier in March. The American golfer has struggled mightily with his putter on the PGA Tour. He did finish T-42 at the 2025 Valspar Championship. In 2026, he missed three cuts and withdrew from The American Express. Clanton is only 22, but his minus-1.2 strokes gained in putting is an eye-popping 165th on tour. He does not drive the ball far, averaging 294 yards (144th), and his 55.84% accuracy (120th) compounds his struggles. The question is, can he put it together on a somewhat easier Copperhead course where birdies are not outrageously plentiful?

Even after finishing 10th in the 2024 MVP vote while leading the Minnesota Vikings to a 14-win season, veteran quarterback
Sam Darnold had his doubters heading into 2025. The 28-year-old signed with the Seattle Seahawks and quieted the critics in his first season in Seattle, completing 67.7% of his pass attempts for 4,048 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions while leading the Seahawks to victory in Super Bowl LX. Seattle's dominant defense kept the team in run-heavy game scripts, but Darnold averaged an incredibly efficient 8.5 yards per pass attempt when allowed to let it loose. Darnold has recorded double-digit interceptions in every season where he's started at least 11 games, so turnovers will likely always be a part of his profile. Still, he's proven himself to be a capable NFL starter who can thrive in the right environment. While Seattle lost offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak over the offseason, the team still has a strong infrastructure around Darnold that includes superstar wide receiver
Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Darnold profiles as a solid fantasy QB2 in dynasty formats heading into 2026 and beyond.

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop prospect
Konnor Griffin is one of just three non-roster position players remaining in camp with the big league club with just a week and a half left before the regular season begins. MLB's top-ranked prospect has made a solid case with his bat to crack the team's Opening Day roster, going 7-for-33 (.212) with five of his seven hits going for extra bases (one double, four home runs). Without having played a single game at Triple-A (and only 21 at Double-A), it remains to be seen whether the Pirates are ready to give the former first-round draft pick the reins at shortstop or if they think he needs to gain some additional experience at Triple-A Indianapolis. The 6-foot-3 slugger has all the tools needed to make an impact in the majors this season, it is just a matter of when that will be. With an ADP of around pick 143 in drafts since the beginning of March, fantasy managers believe it will be sooner rather than later.

Across 17 games in 2025, Cleveland Browns wide receiver
Jerry Jeudy recorded just 50 receptions for 602 yards and two touchdowns on 106 targets. With a catch rate of under 50%, Jeudy was one of the least efficient high-target wideouts in the NFL. His struggles were not entirely his fault, as Cleveland rotated through a cast of underwhelming starting quarterbacks in
Joe Flacco,
Dillon Gabriel, and
Shedeur Sanders. Still, Jeudy's 2025 production was a stark decline from his Pro-Bowl 2024 output, when he hauled in 90 receptions for over 1,200 yards. Heading into 2026, there's no guarantee that the quarterback situation in Cleveland will be improved. Barring a draft-day addition, Sanders and Gabriel appear poised to compete for the starting job in training camp. On a more positive note, Jeudy should not face much internal competition for targets outside of young tight end
Harold Fannin Jr. Still, Jeudy's dynasty value is trending in the wrong direction after his disappointing 2025.

Christiann Bezuidenhout has only made four out of six cuts in 2026. The South African golfer could not get anything going at THE PLAYERS Championship last week. A Friday 77 ended any hopes of Bezuidenhout seeing the weekend. Off the tee, the golfer just could not get the length and accuracy needed at TPC Sawgrass. Bezuidenhout lost a whopping 1.42 strokes off the tee and was still 2% less accurate than the average golfer in the field. That driver accuracy has been negative in each of the past five events. Besides the putter, Bezuidenhout must set up opportunities. He has been hit or miss the past two years at the Valspar. Last year, he missed the cut but the year before, he was T-9. That makes him a fade from a betting perspective.

Josh Emmett suffered a first-round TKO loss to UFC prospect Kevin Vallejos in the main event of UFC Vegas 114 on Saturday. Emmett looked lost in this fight as Vallejos completely dominated him with his striking. After getting dropped with a stiff right hand, Emmett got back on his feet, but Vallejos kept the pressure on and swarmed Emmett with punches and elbows, forcing the referee to stop the fight. In 3:33 of action, Emmett had one takedown attempt and landed only three significant strikes. Emmett now finds himself in a tough spot as this is his third consecutive loss and his second straight first-round stoppage.

UFC prospect Kevin Vallejos extended his win streak by defeating Josh Emmett via first-round TKO in the main event of UFC Vegas 114 on Saturday. As soon as the fight started, Vallejos pressured Emmett and kept on punishing him with ferocious striking. It didn't take long for Vallejos to knock down Emmett with a stiff right hand as the pair exchanged in the centre of the cage, and Vallejos eventually overwhelmed Emmett, who turtled up, forcing the referee to stop the fight. In 3:33 of action, Vallejos landed 36 significant strikes. With the win, Vallejos improved to 18-1 as a pro and is now 4-0 in the UFC.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop
Zach Neto (wrist) hit some balls off a tee in camp on Monday and said he's going to take batting practice on the field later, according to Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Neto said "he's feeling good." The 25-year-old suffered a small sprain of his left wrist on a head-first slide in Cactus League action on Saturday and expects to miss just a few days. It's something to watch with Opening Day less than two weeks away, but for now, it looks like Neto dodged a bullet and should be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season at the end of the month. The former first-rounder (13th overall) in 2022 out of Campbell University has hit .241 (7-for-29) with a homer, five RBI, four runs scored, and two stolen bases in 12 spring training games this year. In his first two full major-league seasons, Neto has slashed .253/.318/.458 with a .776 OPS, 49 home runs, 139 RBI, 152 runs, and 56 stolen bases in 283 games. He's RotoBaller's No. 5-ranked fantasy shortstop heading into his third full MLB season.

New York Mets right-hander
Nolan McLean will start the World Baseball Classic against either Italy or Venezuela on Tuesday for Team USA, according to Deesha Thosar of FOX Sports. In his last outing for USA in their loss to Italy last week, McLean allowed three runs in his two innings of work. Before leaving to play in the WBC, McLean had one Grapefruit League outing against the Houston Astros for the Mets and looked sharp, tossing four shutout innings with one hit allowed, one walk, and six strikeouts. The 24-year-old former third-round pick in 2023 out of Oklahoma State dominated in the minors last year on his way to making his major-league debut in New York. McLean continued to pitch well in the Show in his first eight starts (48 innings), posting a 2.06 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and 57:16 K: BB. He's one of the best young arms in the game and is already ranked as a low-end No. 2 fantasy starting pitcher at RotoBaller as he heads into his first full year in the majors.

New York Giants running back
Cam Skattebo (ankle) said on the Rich Eisen Show last week that he probably has "a little over a month left" until he's "fully back to 100%." Skattebo added that he ran at around 75% intensity for the first time last week. The 24-year-old said he's doing a little more than a jog while striding out, and he also fully expects to be ready to roll for training camp this summer after suffering a gruesome right-ankle injury in late October that ended what had been a promising rookie season in 2025. Injury aside, Skattebo said new head coach John Harbaugh's offense fits his skill set as an RB perfectly, so the Arizona State alum has high hopes for his second year in the NFL and beyond. There have been rumors circulating that the Giants want to add a high-profile RB in either free agency or the draft, signaling that they might be worried about Skattebo's long-term durability. Skattebo averaged 4.1 yards per carry and had 410 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 101 carries in his first eight NFL games before his injury. His 2026 fantasy value will depend on what the Giants do in the draft at the position, but right now, he sits atop the depth chart.

Across 62 2/3 innings split between the Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays in 2025, veteran relief pitcher
Seranthony Dominguez recorded a 4-4 record with a 3.16 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 79 strikeouts, and two saves. Dominguez's performance was enough to earn him a two-year deal from the Chicago White Sox in free agency, where he is expected to be the team's primary closer. The 30-year-old is far from a perfect pitcher, as he posted an elevated 13.8% walk rate in 2025 and allowed an inflated 1.84 HR/9 as recently as 2024. However, Dominguez struck out 30.3% of the batters he faced in 2025 and should have a long runway as Chicago's primary option in the ninth inning. Dominguez also pitched well in the World Baseball Classic for the Dominican Republic this spring, allowing just three base runners and zero earned runs across four appearances. If he can keep his walk and home run rates in check, Dominguez could be an undervalued source of saves heading into 2026.

Seattle Mariners outfielder
Julio Rodriguez had fantasy managers a bit nervous early in 2025, as he was hitting .207 with four home runs at the end of April. However, the 25-year-old returned to his elite form the rest of the way, finishing the year with a slash line of .267/.324/.474 with 32 home runs, 95 RBI, 106 runs scored, and 30 stolen bases across 710 plate appearances. Rodriguez's barrel rate dipped below 10% for the first time in his career in 2025, but he also improved his strikeout rate to a career-best 21.4%. If he can merge the best aspects of his power and contact approaches in 2026, Rodriguez could take his game even higher. Even if he simply repeats his established norms, Rodriguez is a true five-category fantasy contributor who should continue to be a max-playing time outfielder as he enters the prime years of his career. Rodriguez is worthy of a first-round selection in fantasy drafts heading into 2026.

After recording three consecutive 30-homer, 90-RBI campaigns from 2021 through 2023, Atlanta Braves third baseman
Austin Riley looked to have established himself as one of the best right-handed hitters in baseball. However, the 28-year-old has battled injuries and underperformance in each of the last two seasons, bringing some question marks to his fantasy profile. Core muscle issues limited Riley to just 447 plate appearances in 2025, across which he slashed .260/.309/.428 with 16 home runs, 54 RBI, 54 runs scored, and two stolen bases. His strikeout rate jumped to 28.6%, his worst mark since his rookie season in 2019. Still, Riley posted an elite 15.2% barrel rate and 50.2% hard-hit rate in 2025, and he is entering 2026 fully healthy. If he can kick the injury bug, Riley may return to the ranks of elite fantasy third basemen.

Denny Hamlin of Joe Gibbs Racing won the Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday with the best car in the field. Hamlin started the race from second, but quickly took the lead from Christopher Bell after two laps. The No. 11 Toyota driver led most of the first stage, but in the final couple of laps, his car experienced enough tire wear that he lost grip, causing him to be slow enough for Bell and Kyle Larson to pass him. Hamlin obtained eight stage points as a result of finishing third at the end of the first stage. During the pit stop between the first and second stage, Hamlin sped on pit road, sending him to the back of the pack on a penalty. Hamlin spent the rest of the second stage trying to recover from the penalty, and he did, making it up to fifth by the end of the stage and collecting six more stage points. In the final stage, Hamlin continued his ascent to the front and passed William Byron for the lead on lap 185. Outside of a caution that caused him to restart second, Hamlin dominated the rest of the stage to earn his third Las Vegas victory, holding off Chase Elliott at the end before his car's tires completely wore out. With his first victory of the 2026 season, Hamlin now moves to fourth in the regular-season standings.

Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott finished Sunday's Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway as the runner-up. Elliott began the race mid-way through the pack in the 15th position, but progressively worked to the front over time. In the first stage, he made it up from 15th all the way to the eighth position, ending the first stage with three stage points. In the second stage, Elliott started making it to the top five, peaking at third, but by the end of the stage, he faded back to ninth and earned two more stage points. In the final stage, Elliott returned to the top five and stayed there as his car improved on handling and speed to compete for the win. Elliott made it up to second and, in the closing laps, was chasing Denny Hamlin for the win, but the race ended before Elliott could fully catch up and make a move for the win. This was Elliott's first top-5 finish in the Next-Gen car at Las Vegas, and he is now fifth in the regular-season standings after five races.

William Byron of Hendrick Motorsports finished in third place for the Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday. The No. 24 Chevrolet driver first started the race from ninth, but quietly gained a few positions in the first stage. By the end of the stage, he made it to sixth and earned five stage points. In the second stage, Byron made it to the top five and helped his teammate Kyle Larson obtain the lead. He eventually got by Christopher Bell and then, in the closing laps of the second stage, passed Larson and went on to win the second stage. In the final stage, Byron began by fighting with Larson for the lead and eventually getting ahead of him for a couple of laps, until Denny Hamlin made it to the front and passed Byron. From there, Byron never saw the lead again, but ran most of the race inside the top five and kept his car clean until he eventually finished third behind Hamlin and his other teammate, Chase Elliott. This was Byron's best Las Vegas Cup finish since his win at the site in March 2023, and he is now seventh in the regular-season standings after five races.

Free-agent running back
Jeremy McNichols is re-signing with the Washington Nationals on an undisclosed one-year deal on Monday, sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Washington's current backfield includes McNichols,
Jacory Croskey-Merritt,
Rachaad White, and
Jerome Ford. In his second year with Washington in 2025, McNichols saw 44 carries for 221 yards and one rushing touchdown in 17 games (one start), adding 25 receptions on 31 targets for 196 yards through the air. The 30-year-old veteran was also a key special teams contributor in addition to his depth role in the Commanders' backfield. The offseason additions of both White and Ford, who are both capable pass-catchers, is bad news for McNichols as he heads into his third year in D.C. At best, the former fifth-round pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2017 out of Boise State will be a deep-league stash at RB. McNichols had a career-high 261 rushing yards and four touchdowns for the Commanders in his first year with the team in 2024.

Joe Gibbs Racing's Christopher Bell was highly competitive and was one of the top drivers in Sunday's Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, but did not get the victory. Bell started the race at the front in the pole position, but quickly lost the lead to his teammate Denny Hamlin after the opening two laps. He then lost further positions to his other teammate, Ty Gibbs, and Kyle Larson before the first round of green flag pit stops. From there, the No. 20 team improved the car, and Bell returned to the lead and never looked back for the rest of the stage, winning and nabbing 10 stage points. In the second stage, Bell ran inside the top five throughout most of the stage. Although he challenged Larson and William Byron for the lead at a few points, Bell could not keep up and ended the stage in third. In the final stage, Bell continued to run in the top five, and although there were a few points where he was competing for the lead, he could not keep up with Hamlin, Chase Elliott, and William Byron, settling for fourth place by the end of the race. This was Bell's third consecutive top-5 result of the season and now sits sixth in regular-season points after five races.
